Oh! Hey. Hey. Welcome to Sesame Street.
We are so glad you're here.
Hmm. Ahchoo! Hmm. Excuse me.
[Elmo humming]
Chris: Ahchoo! Elmo: Oh. Oh, hi, Chris.
Is Chris feeling OK?
Chris: Yeah, Elmo. I'm feeling fine. Oh. Ahchoo!
Elmo: Oh, oh, oh!
[Mewing]
Elmo: Oh, ho ho ho! Chris: Oh. That's why.
Oh. Ahchoo! Elmo: Oh, ho!
Chris: Oh, there's a cat. Elmo: Oh, but, Chris.
Chris: Huh? Elmo: Why do kitty cats
make you sneeze?
Chris: Uh, because I'm a little bit allergic to cats, Elmo.
Elmo: Elmo's not allergic. Oh, so Elmo is going to
pet the kitty cat.
Here, kitty! Chris: Hold on, hold on, Elmo.
Elmo: What? Chris: Cats can get scared
easily, so, uh, instead of running towards her,
try putting out your hand to see if she comes to you.
Elmo: Gotcha. Ha ha ha! Chris: OK.
Elmo: Hi there, kitty cat. Hi there.
Oh. Elmo wants to be your friend.
Yeah-eah-eah!
[Cat sniffing]
Aw. Elmo loves you, too, kitty cat.
Oh. Elmo's gonna keep this kitty as a pet!
Chris: Hold on, Elmo. Elmo: Huh?
Chris: Um, you can't just keep an animal
just because you find it.
Now I don't see a collar, but that kitty cat
could have an owner and could be lost. Mm-hmm.
Elmo: Oh, boy. Elmo will help the kitty cat find her home.
Chris: Hey, hey, hey! And I'll help!
Elmo: Yibba yibba yibba yibba!
Chris: Until we find the owner, the kitten
will be safe with us at the community center.
Grover: Did somebody say, "Kitten"?
Chris: Yes. I did.
Cookie Monster: Did somebody say, "Cookie"?
Chris: No. Nobody said that.
Cookie Monster. Oh, well. Never hurt to ask.
Grover: Yeah. You tried.
Chris: We're gonna use these supplies
to help us find the kitten's owner.
Grover: Ahh. Excellent idea, Christopher.
Ahh. Ahem.
[Loud] Anybody lose a kitten?!
It's adorable. If you lost it,
you're probably gonna want it!
Chris: No, no. Grover, no! No, no!
I meant we'd make signs to tell people
we found a kitten.
Grover: Ah. Ah. I suppose that could work, too.
Cookie Monster: Yeah. Good idea.
Elmo: And Elmo will draw pictures of the kitty cat
so the owner knows it's her.
Oh. Sorry.
Chris: Hey, hey, hey! Nice job on the signs, guys.
Cookie Monster: Thank you. Grover: Thank you.
Chris: Ooh. Ah-ahchoo!
Oh. They look great. Elmo: Yeah-eah-eah!
Oh. Elmo will put them up right now
so we can find the kitty cat's owner.
Oh. Bye-bye for now, kitty cat. Ha ha ha!
[Cat mewing]
Chris: Hey, and I'll meet you out there just as soon
as I give the kitty cat something to eat and drink.
Elmo: OK! Cookie Monster: Me know what
kitty want to eat and drink.
Cookie and milk.
Chris: No, no, no, no, Cookie Monster.
Cats can't have cookies or drink milk.
It's bad for them.
Cookie Monster: Then me glad me not a kitty cat.
Ahh, ohh, ohh. Ohh. Nom nom nom.
Chris: OK. Um, cats need to drink water,
and I have some cat food over at the store.
Grover: Oh. Go, go. I, cute and furry Grover,
will take care of the cute and furry
domesticated house pet until you get back.
[Meow meow meowwww]
Chris: Uh, are you sure you're OK?
Grover: Oh, please. Christopher.
I'm an expert on zebras.
Cookie Monster: Kitties. Grover: Kitties.
Cookie Monster: Hey, Chris. No worry about a thing.
Me help, too.
[Meowww]
Chris: Um, OK. Well, I'm gonna go get some food
from the store, all right?
Cookie Monster: Terrific. Chris, take your time, buddy.
Grover: Yeah. We have this totally under control.
Cookie Monster: We got this. Grover: Oh, dear.
The kitty seems sad. Do not worry, kitty cat.
Chris and Elmo will be back.
When I feel sad, I like hugs.
The kitty probably wants a hug.
Both: Here, kitty kitty!
Grover: Oh, look at you. Cookie Monster: Yeah, you, you.
Grover: You're so cute and adorable.
Cookie Monster: Yeah. Meow. Grover: Oh, look at you.
Chris: Hmm. If I were a lost little kitten,
which flavor would I like the best?
Yeah. Heh heh heh.
[Crash]
Ohh! Uh-oh! That cannot be good.
Oh, come on! What happened?
I was gone for two seconds.
Grover: Turns out kitty does not want a hug.
[Yowling]
[Hissing]
Chris: No, no. Of course not.
Most cats don't like to be grabbed or hugged.
Grover: But I like hugs.
Cookie Monster: It's true. He loves them.
Chris: Yes, but you're not a cat.
Grover: Oh. Well, I wouldn't go as far as to say--
that is true. I am not a cat. No.
Chris: So instead of trying to grab her,
why don't we stop and think
about how the kitten must be feeling?
Grover: Hmm. She looks like she might be feeling
a little nervous for some reason.
[Hiss]
Chris: She sure does.
Cookie Monster: Oh. Wait a minute.
If little kitty not happy, then why she wagging
her little tail like a little doggie?
[Hiss]
Chris: Uh, because cats are different than dogs,
Cookie Monster. Grover: Hmm?
Chris: When a dog is wagging its tail,
it's because it's happy,
but when a cat is moving its tail,
it's because it's upset.
Grover: Ohh. Cookie Monster: Ohh.
Cookie Monster: Yeah. That really confusing, Chris.
Grover: A little bit.
Chris: Psst, psst. Kss, kss.
Here, kitty.
[Meow]
Here, kitty. Come on, kitty.
[Mewing]
Heh heh. Ooh. Ahchoo! Mmm. Ugh.
Cats like gentle touching, not big hugs,
so instead of running at the kitty,
try holding out your hand
and letting it come to you.
Grover: Oh. Uh, OK.
Like this? Chris: Mm-hmm.
Cookie Monster: Hello, little kitty.
Grover: Hello, kitty.
Yeah, yeah?
[Sniffing]
Aww. Ohh. Who's a cute, little kitty cat?
Cookie Monster: So sweet. Chris: Aw. You see?
There you go. Now you got it!
Hey. I tell you what. I'm gonna go see
how Elmo's doing with those signs,
and, uh, actually, you know what?
I better get a litter box for kitty, too.
Grover: Oh, no need, Christopher.
I Grover will get a litter box for little kitty.
Chris: Ha ha ha! OK. Thanks.
Hey. Uh, go team-- ooh--ahchoo!
Kitty Care.
Grover: Ah. Go team. Bye-bye, kitty.
[Elmo grunting]
Elmo: Oh, boy. Oh, ho ho! Oh, oh! Hi, Chris!
Chris: Ha ha ha! Hey, buddy.
Uh, how's it going?
Elmo: Well--ha ha hee hee-- Elmo didn't want the signs
to, you know, blow away,
so Elmo used too much tape.
Ha ha ha!
Chris: Well, here. Let me help you with that, buddy.
Elmo: Oh, thank you. Chris: Yeah.
Grover: Anybody got any litter?
Oh. Excuse me, guys. You have any litter over here?
Chris: What are you doing? Grover: What does it look like?
I am taking care of the kitty.
Chris: And how is collecting garbage taking care
of the cat?
Grover: It was your idea, silly.
You said that kitty needs a litter box.
Here it is.
Chris: Grover, a litter box isn't a box of garbage.
It's a plastic bin filled with a special sand called litter.
Cats use them to go potty.
Grover: A kitty potty?
Chris: Let's just get a litter box
from the store, OK?
Grover: OK. OK. Chris: Uh, Elmo.
You gonna be OK?
Elmo: Oh, yeah. Elmo's got it under control.
Chris: OK. Elmo: No problem.
Elmo's got this. Ohh! Oh, no.
Cookie Monster: Oh, no. Oh, nooo! Chris!
Chris: Oh. Hey, Cookie.
Cookie Monster: Me so glad you here.
Me so scared.
Uh, what's wrong, Cookie Monster?
Cookie Monster: The kitty, it's growling at me,
but she sitting on me lap, so me no can move.
Nice kitty. Nice kitty.
Chris: Ha ha ha! Cookie Monster,
she's not growling.
She's purring.
Cookie Monster: Oh, purring. Of cou--
wait. What purring?
Chris: It's a sound that cats make
when they're feeling happy and safe.
Cookie Monster: Oh. Well, you know what?
If kitty happy, then me happy, too.
Grover: Litter box is in the house.
Cookie Monster: Hey, Grover. What that?
Me thought you getting a box of garbage.
Grover: No. A litter box is a kitty potty.
Why would a kitty want a box of trash?
That is ridiculous. Ha!
Chris: Ha ha ha! Well, I think this kitty
has everything she needs--
cat food, water, litter box,
and a safe place to be.
Now we just have to find--
Elmo: Hey, everybody! Everybody!
Oh, oh, oh! Elmo found a doggie!
Chris: What?! No, no, Elmo, no.
We're not trying to find more animals.
We're still trying to find the owner for this one.
Dog: Arf! I'm the kitten's owner.
Oh. I've been looking everywhere for her.
I'm so grateful you found her.
She slipped out of her collar and got outside.
Little Barbara. Oh! Arf.
Grover: Oh, we took very good care of her.
You see, luckily, I am an expert on armadillos.
Cookie Monster: Kitties. Grover: Kitties.

Well, bye-bye, everyone.

Jair: You've come to the right place.
Of course I can help you.
Papayas are a type of fruit that grows in trees.
Papayas start as little seeds that grow and grow
into big trees.
Papayas grow in bunches at the top of the tree.
When they're ripe, we pick the papayas by hand.
The papayas are then washed, wrapped, and packaged
to go to the store.
You can make papaya salsa, smoothies,
and even add it to a yummy fruit salad.
Our animals love it, too.
Here are papayas to make baked papayas
with ice cream and lime, Cookie Monster and Gonger.
